I apologize for the lengthy code. I have a simple question, but I thought I include my code so it will be clear where I am coming from. I get a realloc corruption. I think the corruption is because I am not freeing correctly. In reality I am not sure what glibc even says or means. Can any one briefly explain that to me? Again sorry for the lengthy code.

glibc is telling you you're passing in an address that couldn't have been returned from malloc/realloc. This is because you're passing in the address of the pointsAndName
stack variable. You need to pass in the value, which is what you received from malloc
. Also, whenever you call realloc
, you should use a temporary variable. That way, if the realloc
fails, you still free the original value.
struct figure *tempPtr = realloc(pointsAndname, temp * sizeof(struct figure));
if(tempPtr == NULL)
{
// Handle allocation error...
free(pointsAndname);
}
pointsAndname = tempPtr;
